Don't get snowed. Senate Republicans are nixing immediate dismissal of charges against Trump to lay the groundwork to spin a witness-free trial as fair by reverse-comparison. You can see it in their quotes. Same goes for their other "offers." New piece: https://t.co/51yvvg5Xcr

Shell game
Republican Senator Roy Blunt, chairman of the Rules Committee, intends to restrict press and public access to the Trump trial in the Senate.
The Republican restrictions include allowing only one video camera, no still photography and no audio recordings during the trial.
Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar (Minn.), minority leader of the Rules Committee, has yet to make any comments about these restrictions.
